Why would the OP NOT get eligibility back if everything was returned? It's my understanding that everything would reset if everythingis returned . . . .

Perhaps an "official" can weigh in on this? I know you are limited to one exchange, but if you return that one also.....

Verizon changed this policy earlier this year (along with everything else, it seems) so that you're limited to one exchange. Which means, you can exchange your phone once, but if you don't like the new phone, you can't exchange it again and get the 2 year contract price on another. You can certainly return it, but what's the point if you don't get your upgrade eligibility back?

I asked the same question back in Feb. when my upgrade rolled around, and was told the same thing. One exchange and then you're stuck.

Hmm, well, then , OK. I knew you had one exchange, then you either kept that phone or returned it - did not realize that returning it did not reset your contract. Hmmmm....

I guess that makes sense, sort of. Otherwise you could keep returning and resetting . . . then try two more . . . return, reset, try two more, etc. Yeah, it makes sense. Thankfully, we've never had to experience this. The one time we did an exchange we were happy with the second phone (my son still has that as his backup!) so never had to find out what happened beyond that.

So you can return the first phone, no exchange, contract resets, time passes, then try another - patience with the process would come into play if you were to try several phones.

Yes there is!!!! I just got the droind prop and it lasted 6 hours and I did nothing with it!!! I was goinna return it but yes the fee is 35.00 and you can only return ONE time!!! Aslo I was told I would get the 50.00 online discount and she didn't give it to me...do you think anyone is helping me???? NO verizon has horrible customer service!!

I know returning and exchanging a device can get a little confusing but I’d be happy to clarify your questions. When you upgrade your device directly from Verizon Wireless you do have a 14 day worry free guaranteed exchange/return period from the original purchased date. You are limited to one exchange during this period. In your case if you are now in your second device you are able to return it, if you’re still during the 14 day window of the original purchase. Keep in mind a $35 restocking fee does apply. Once your device is returned your contract and upgrade eligibility date will reset. Feel free to visit our Return Policy for more information. I’m sure this clarified your concerns. Have a great day!
